Definitions

  • the present invention provides a method, device and plant for producing blue ammonia, providing for a high percentage of carbon capture and nitrogen saving, when compared to prior art.
  • the method and system of the invention may be used in any ammonia plant.
  • Blue ammonia is a fossil fuel-based product produced with minimum emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. It is seen as a transition product between conventional fossil fuel-based ammonia and green ammonia produced from green or renewable power and air.
  • the CO2 resulting from a blue ammonia production shall be stored permanently or converted into other chemicals.
  • the main steps for producing blue ammonia are essentially the same as for producing conventional fossil fuel-based ammonia, the difference being that more of the carbon stemming from the carbon fuel is captured, providing a possibility for further processing.
  • Blue ammonia does not release any carbon dioxide when used as fertilizer or burned.
  • Document WO2018/149641 discloses a process for the synthesis of ammonia from natural gas comprising conversion of a charge of desulphurized natural gas and steam, with oxygen-enriched air or oxygen, into a synthesis gas (11), and treatment of the synthesis gas (11) with shift reaction and decarbonation, wherein a part of the CC>2-depleted synthesis gas, obtained after decarbonation, is separated and used as fuel fraction for one or more furnaces of the conversion section, and the remaining part of the gas is used to produce ammonia.
  • WO 2022/228839 is different from the setup disclosed in WO2018/149641 in that it allows for the recovery of a flash gas from the CO2 removal step and enables the use of a more carbon depleted fuel, thereby achieving a higher carbon recovery (more than 99%).
  • the present invention provides a method for producing blue ammonia wherein the required final nitrogen addition is performed in a mixing device reducing the nitrogen flow and resulting in two streams with different composition and function.
  • the first stream will be used as fuel and the second for ammonia synthesis.
  • the mixing device is shown in figure 4.
  • the present invention refers to a method, device and plant for producing ammonia, in particular blue ammonia, with a high percentage of carbon capture, preferably >99% of carbon capture, when compared to the standard method where optimally between about 90-93% of carbon capture is achieved.
  • Natural gas firing is reduced to be used for pilot burners
  • Off-gases containing more than 60% Methane and/or CO are redirected to the reforming section or to the desulfurization section as additional feed gas;
  • Figure 1 shows an overview for producing ammonia according to a state of the art method.
  • Hydrogen rich fuel comprising nitrogen (replacing use of natural gas as fuel)
  • Figure 2 shows an overview of a method to produce Ammonia using Topsoe SynCOR ammoniaTM process a) Desulphurization bo) Pre-reforming b) Reforming (ATR) c) Shift section d) CO2 Removal e) Nitrogen wash or PSA f) Ammonia synthesis h) Off gas recycle compressor g) Fuel system(s)
  • Hydrogen rich fuel comprising nitrogen (replacing use of natural gas as fuel)
  • Figure 3 shows an overview for producing ammonia using a steam reformer followed by an autothermal reformer in the synthesis gas generation: a) Desulphurization bO) Pre- reforming b) Reforming (SMR) b) Reforming (ATR) c) Shift section d) CO2 removal e) Nitrogen wash or PSA f) Ammonia synthesis h) Off gas recycle compressor g) Fuel system(s)
  • Hydrogen rich fuel comprising nitrogen (replacing use of natural gas as fuel)
  • Figure 4 shows the mixing device of the present invention.
  • Stream A is mixed with stream B achieving outlet stream C and D, where A, B, C and D have different composition and function.
  • Stream A achieves a different composition from C and D due to the mixing with B.
  • C and D achieve different composition between them due to the inherent partial mixing arrangement of stream B.
  • the partial mixing arrangement is fixed by the distances L and M, combined with the number of inlets or holes N1 and N2 within these distances. Due to the asymmetrical outlet of stream C the average composition obtained through view E will be different from the average composition obtained through view F. It will therefore not be possible to extract two identical streams from this special piping element for L and M > 0,1 m and N1 , N2 > 0.
  • references used to represent the different steps of in the method and plant of the present invention are: a) a desulfurization unit; b) a reforming unit; c) a shift unit d) a CO2 removal unit; e) a nitrogen washing unit or a pressure swing adsorption unit or a methanation unit, f) a mixing device according to claims 11 and 12; g) an ammonia synthesis section; and h) fuel systems,
  • Blue Ammonia is ammonia that is created from using fossil fuel where at least 90% of the Carbon in the fossil fuel is captured to be used in other products and processes or to be stored.
  • Catalyst poison means a substance that reduces the effectiveness of a catalyst in a chemical reaction.
  • catalysts because catalysts are not consumed in chemical reactions, they can be used repeatedly over an indefinite period of time.
  • poisons which come from the reacting substances or products of the reaction itself, accumulate on the surface of solid catalysts and cause their effectiveness to decrease. For this reason, when the effectiveness of a catalyst has reached a certain low level, steps are taken to remove the poison or replenish the active catalyst component that may have reacted with the poison.
  • Commonly encountered poisons include carbon on the silica— alumina catalyst in the cracking of petroleum; sulfur, arsenic, or lead on metal catalysts in hydrogenation or dehydrogenation reactions; and oxygen and water on iron catalysts used in ammonia synthesis.
  • Contaminant means any substances or elements which are not desirable. Within the context of the present invention, contaminants comprise catalyst poisons.
  • Flash gas means an intermediate gas stream obtained during desorption of CO2 in a solvent based CO2 removal step.
  • Green Ammonia is ammonia that is produced by using green electricity, water and air.
  • Green Electricity is electricity produced from renewable resources such as wind, solar, Hydro or geothermal energy

  • Electrolysis of water means decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.
  • Fuel systems comprise fuel systems for supply of fuel to the combustion side of tubular reformers and/or fired heaters and/or auxiliary boilers and/or gas turbines. These systems comprise one or more burners in which the incoming fuel streams are burned together with air at variable temperature and pressure.
  • High-pressure electrolysis is the electrolysis of water by decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) due to the passing of an electric current through the water at elevated pressure, typically above 10 bar.
  • Make-up ammonia or Traded Ammonia comprises ammonia (NH3) and water (H2O), preferably between 0,2 to 0,5% of water content. It is usually supplied as a liquid but may also be a solution comprising different physical states.
  • the effect of water comprised in ammonia feedstock in the ammonia decomposition process is primarily that due to poisoning the process, which usually has to take place at a high temperatures. This will increase process cost for ammonia decomposition as well as cost of construction materials in the plant. According to National Bureau of Standards ammonia shall conform to the following properties: minimum purity of 99,98% (wt), maximum 0,0005% (wt) oil and maximum 0,02% (wt) moisture.
  • Nitridation means the formation of nitrogen compounds through the action of ammonia.
  • PSA means pressure swing adsorption
  • Shift means Water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) or Shift reaction, the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen:
  • the WGSR is an important industrial reaction that is used in the manufacture of ammonia, hydrocarbons, methanol, and hydrogen. It is also often used in conjunction with steam reforming of methane and other hydrocarbons. In the Fischer-Tropsch process, the WGSR is one of the most important reactions used to balance the H2/CO ratio.
  • the water gas shift reaction is a moderately exothermic reversible reaction. Therefore, with increasing temperature the reaction rate increases but the carbon dioxide production becomes less favorable. Due to its exothermic nature, high carbon monoxide percentage is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures. Despite the thermodynamic favorability at low temperatures, the reaction is faster at high temperatures.
  • Shift unit or section means a process step where the shift reaction is performed.
  • Mixing device means a device, preferably L-shaped, suitable for mixing two or more gas streams with different composition into two or more new gas streams with different composition, said device displaying one or more inlets or holes which allow for the contact and mixing of said two or more gas streams and extraction of said two or more new gas streams.
  • CO2 in the flue gas can be avoided by using carbon free fuels.
  • hydrocarbons such as natural gas and carbon containing off gases originating from the process are used as fuels.
  • the present invention refers to a method, device and plant for producing ammonia, in particular blue ammonia, with a high percentage of carbon capture, preferably >99% of carbon capture, when compared to the standard method where optimally between about 90-93% of carbon capture is achieved.
  • a method, device and plant are provided where mixing of a syngas stream A and a nitrogen rich stream B is achieved in such way that a fuel stream C and a syngas for ammonia synthesis stream D are obtained and the composition and function of these four streams A, B, C and D is different at all times.
